Domino, a home decorating and style magazine, will publish its last issue in March, Conde Nast Publications said Wednesday.
Struck by an industrywide decline in advertising revenue, the company has been pulling back on a number of fronts, trimming issues of Men’s Vogue and Conde Nast Portfolio and reducing staff companywide.
In a statement Wednesday, Conde Nast Chief Executive Charles H. Townsend said the decision to shutter Domino was driven “entirely” by the economy.
The magazine was launched in April 2005.
Company spokeswoman Maurie Perl said Conde Nast, a unit of privately held Advance Publications Inc., won’t release the total head count at Domino or how many employees will be laid off. But she said publisher Beth Fuchs Brenner, and the magazine’s editor, Deborah Needleman, will both be leaving the company.
A small number of workers from both the business and editorial side of the magazine will be asked to fill open positions at Conde Nast, Perl said.
